GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE. LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor,— While spending a few days at the I pleasant seaside town of Aherystwith, CardiganI shire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me ! either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. The story was that a poor sufferer who had not i been able to lie down in bed for six long years, ; given up to die by all the Doctors, had been ! speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was i related with the more implicit confidence from the i circumstance, as was saiil, that the Vicar of | Llant ystyd was familiar with the facts, and could j vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how such stories I grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the i village of Llanrystyd to call upon the Vicar, the I Rev. T. Evans, ami to enquire about this wonderI ful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he ! and his wife most graciously entertained me in a 1 half jboor'a conversation, principally touching the I case of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take a i deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with the sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr John Thamas, a chemist ]of Llanon. lie said Mr Pugh was formerly a I resident of their parish, but now living in the ; parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pugh's character ;as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that I he wa3 one who truly sympathised with all who are I afflicted in mind, body or estate. On my return to Aherystwith, I was impressed with a desire to sre Mr Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. Hi.-* farm is called Pcncom-Mawr, signifying "above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantled Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently abont 4n years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had conic to learn from his own lips, what there was of truth in the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbors had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his case for many years, but of late tlieir interest had been ;r..111y nwal:i»ned by a happy change in hi 3 condition. What you report as having heard abroad, s:iid he. 1* substantially true, with one reception. I never understood tint my case was ever given up as h"pvU-ss by any Physician. 1 have be, n treated by several Dtvtors hereabouts, as good as any in Wale*, but unfortunately no prescription of tli'-irs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appe'ite, which the IWtors told me was Dysjx ;>-ii.i. What food I could hold in trsy stomach seemed to do me no ;.<>u.l and was often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with a h'<:ir"< ness and a raw soreness of the throat which trie Doctor? called bronchitis, and. I was treated for that, but with little success. Theu Came shortness of breath ar.d a sense of suffocation, especially nights, with rlir.imy sweat, and 1 would have to get out of bed and sometimes open a door or window in winter weather to till my lungs with the cold air. About si\ vears ago I became so bad that I could not sleep i:i bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sittmL' in an armchair. My aftiiction seemed to be working downward into my Itoweis as well a« upwards into my lungs and thro it. hi the violent coughing spasms which grew more frt-ijiient, my abdomen would expaaed and collapse and at all times it would seem that I .should suffocate. All this time I v.a- reduced in strength r-o that I could petform no hard labour and my spirits wen- consequently much depressed. K'.iiy in tf.;«< last spring I had a still more ervere spasmodic attack, and my families and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aherystwith by tl>e driver of the Omnibus post, some seven miles distant, and fitched a bottle of Mother Stijrel's Curative Syrup. This raedicne they administered to me according to the direction, when to their surprise and delight no liss than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach wwj calmed. My bowels were moved a-s by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of ijnitt comfort all through such a* I had nor. before realized in many years. I could walk around the house and breathe cnufortahU in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for some- ! thing over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights ami have not since had a reI currcne of those terrible spasms a:: 1 sweatings. [ I have been so loin; broken down and :. luc ■■] in mj ".hole system that I have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it best to 1 be prudent lest by over-exertion I may do mvself j injury In-fore my strength is fully restored. I feel that my st.'uii.h and bowcLi have bvtn and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the liledlClllC. 11l f.l.t I feel like .1 ll'W mam 1 have been much congratulated by my neighbors, especially by the good Vicar of Llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife, have corns three miles to shed tear- of joy on my recovery. I hade Mr Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at lea*t among thousands hud found a remedy for an aggravating oiscase. lielii ving tins rcmaikahlc case of Dvspcptje Asthma should be krown to the public, I lieg to submit the above facts as they are related to me. r. t. \v.
